Excessive rear wing clearance on the 14-EX car, creating a misleading appearance.

To DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson}

X7410

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn {Mr Robinson} 2/LG23. 5. 28.

14-EX CAR. +7390

The rear wings on 14-EX have at least 1" more clearance on maximum bump than necessary. This gives the car the appearance at the rear of being fitted with rather over-strong springs which actually is not the case.
